In short
The episode file goes up once and the transcript comes back with the speakers named and a timecode on every line, so the show notes and the clips are cut from the text. One file is up to 30 minutes; Pro is $10 a month paid yearly.
The case
Why the episode is edited twice
A show is edited from a recording that is already finished. Say the episode that goes out is 30 minutes: what the audience gets from it is a title, a description, a few chapters and a handful of clips. All of that can be taken out of a transcript: the timecode of a good moment is already written next to it, and the words of the introduction are already in a row.

How to transcribe a podcast episode
- 1
Take the file the recorder made
The mixed track of the episode, not the separate tracks of the guests. It may be up to 30 minutes, so a two-hour show fits without a cut.
- 2
Upload it with the split switched on
Drop the file on the widget above. Two voices in one episode are two speakers, and the split is what puts the name next to the line.
- 3
Mark the moments worth clipping
Read the transcript and note the time of the good passage. The timecode is on every line, so the cut of a clip starts where the sentence starts.
- 4
Export the show notes and the clips
Markdown for the description, TXT for the archive, SRT for a clip that needs subtitles, VTT for the web player, CSV for the sponsor report.
Tips
Keep the mixed track of the episode, not the raw tracks.
Name the file after the number of the episode.
Export CSV when the sponsor report has to be counted.
Questions this page answers
Does the transcript reach the feed of the show?
No. Nothing is written into the feed and nothing is published for you. You upload the audio yourself, and the transcript stays in your account until you export it.
Can I get the chapters automatically?
Not automatically: we do not publish a chapter generator. The transcript gives the time of every line, and a chapter is the line where the topic changes, so you mark those lines yourself.
What about the guests on a separate track?
One mixed file is the simplest way: the split by speaker tells the voices apart inside it. If the tracks are separate, mix them before the upload.
Is the sponsor read in the transcript?
It is part of the audio, so it is part of the text. Read that part in the editor of the app and cut or reword it before the episode notes go out.
